Mobs that die in the toxic waste do not give XP
Just a random bug that I noticed in a couple missions I did. You know those missions, the ones with the shiny pools of green toxic waste on the floor. Everytime I killed a mob while it was standing in the sludge, I received no experience for the kill.
Its not a bug. It should be like that, waaay back you recieved xp for killing mobs standing in toxic also. Don't remember when Funcom changed this though.

I've had this happen in office missions, also. It does seem to mainly happen with doctor humanoids for me, though, although I'm having a difficult time identifying what specifically is causing the problem. For the most part, the last thing they do before dying is DoT me, so there is still the same type of smaller, more frequent damage than weapon damage element to the phenomena, as is the case with acid. Whatever is causing this, though, it does need to be fixed.
Ya, I most certainly think it is a bug. If I do 90% of the damage to the mob, I should get the exp, not the toxic waste.
The important question is, does the acid level? :>
Maybe the toxic waste is doing more damage than we do. If the mob stands on it for a long time, the toxic waste is actually doing a lot of damage. Just that the hp regeneration of mobs is high enough to compensate it.If I do 90% of the damage to the mob, I should get the exp, not the toxic waste.
Nope, pull the mob off the acid, and you'll get exp.

not just the acid. As I mentioned, I do office missions, virtually exclusively. There is no acid. But I still have this problem.
